Ms. Clinton is my last pick among our candidates....

[catnhatnh]

...and it matters not why. In a perfect world, I would like Mr. Kucinich as our choice but I fear he is as truly unelectable as some claim Ms. Clinton is. That said, I would physically cut my own throat before voting for ANY repub distraction, be he a TV actor or even an interesting kook like Mr. Paul....Were I to try to toss away my vote on a write-in or third party candidate I would hope my close friends would break my write-in/third party wrist...The Armegeddon these neo-con fundy fools have forced upon us is truly coming to a vote. I am a DEMOCRAT and I will crawl on my knees over broken glass while puking blood to vote for Ms. Clinton if she is our candidate...and you should too....

Edited for stupid spelling...

1. Almost everyone over here agrees with you, and by the way, Gobama.

[NaturalHigh]

2. Good luck with that.

I won't be voting for Mrs. Clinton.

[catnhatnh]

3. I hope I don't have to either....

...but not voting or voting otherwise would defeat everything we try for here...If she becomes our candidate. If you can't stand the idea of her being the candidate you must both support another, and do so without alienating those who support her.

[RiverStone]

4. All she would get is my vote...

And it would feel like I'm crawling over broken glass to give it to her!

She would get it NOT because I like her, but because my disdain for the rethug party is so vast --- it would come down to an "anything but them" vote. So yes, I'm committed to the Dems and yes, HRC is also last on my list.

The sad thing is I'd work like like hell for Obama, ****Gore****, Edwards, Kucinich, or Clark. We're talking meet-ups, phone banks, county fairs - whatever!!! For HRC, I doubt I'd even put up a sign, but she would have my vote if she's our nominee. Thats it.

I'm still hoping the "base" will GET IT!

[jgraz]

5. Well, I'll definitely be puking

Not so sure about the voting for her...

[Milo_Bloom]

6. Nah

Wouldn't even consider voting for Edwards, Clinton, Biden or Dodd.

They would cause more long term damage to the country and the party, due to their expected capitulations.

[emilyg]

7. I'll happily vote for a D.

[Steve_in_California]

8. Biden can win and he deserves your consideration.

His timing couldn't be better: just as the Dems and GOP are at loggerheads over whether to fund the Iraq war and whether timetables must be part of the bill--along comes Joe Biden with a solution. He just introduced an amendment that calls for the adoption of his long-tenured proposal to separate the warring factions into three semi-autonomous regions under a decentralized federal system. There is simply no other viable option on the table. As journalist Jeff Greenfield noted, Iraqis are already adopting this plan on a de facto basis.

The Biden amendment has won wide endorsement and you can expect the Senate sinking deeper in to this quagmire to grab this life preserver of an amendment.

9. I'll be on call

Anybody need an ear tweaked or a head thunked on election day, just let me know. :rofl:

I can't understand anyone risking all of us to four more years of this insanity.

[melody]

10. Agreed -- that is how I see it, too n/t

[Sherman A1]

11. Agreed

I will vote for any Dem in the general, but in the primary my vote goes to DK.

[displacedtexan]

12. Bill Clinton was my no. 3 pick in 1992.

And he turned out to be one of the best. presidents. ever.

I'll vote for the candidate with the big D after her/his name.

[Dawgs]

13. We didn't know Bill. We know Hillary. And, Hillary is no Bill.

[demommom]

14. I second that!!

[5fingersurfer]

15. Not quite

While I will agree that ol Bill was better than a lot, I can't count him as the best ever. The main reasons being, Bill's and Al Gore's backing of NAFTA and WTO. Everything they said about these agreements turned out wrong and these agreements and those like them need to be terminated at once. That is the main reason that DK is getting my vote in the primaries this year. He is the only candidate who has said he would get the US out of those agreements his first week in office if elected. One of the few things that the POTUS can do without any approval needed from any other branch of government.

If you really want an eye opener, see if youtube has the vp debates from the 92 campaign. The debate with Perot against NAFTA, WTO and Gore for those trade agreements show just how wrong Gore was. HE basically said that anyone against the agreement(s) was an idiot.

16. we can do better than HC

[concerned citizen23]

17. Why vote for any of the leading candidates?
